When I turned 40, I thought my world was ending. You can ask anyone I kept saying I was 39.99. But, once it finally happened, I realized my life was only beginning. I have finally found myself. I have been able to become the woman I truly always needed to be. I have found a voice within me to speak up for myself and for my peers and family. Being 40 means knowing you have lived a lot of your life, and you still have so much more to live - you better make the most of it!
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is hard when you are a mom, a nurse, a wife, a woman in general - so you have to prioritize yourself. I put myself first at least once a month a take myself out on a date - whether it be shopping, out to eat, or just for a drive. You have to find your inner peace and you can only find that when you are able to find true happiness. I find my true happiness alone and in the quiet. If you are able to see yourself as more than titles - then you are FABULOUS!
What would you do with the $40,000?I am the sole provider for my family, so the 40,000 would be so helpful to just keep us going. There have been times that I have looked at my bank account and seen dollars and not seen a paycheck for 2 weeks. We make a way in this life to see that our family has what they need, and that is what I have done each and every day. The money would be a blessing, but as long as I have my family we will be ok.
